Lyrics
Español
Al son de tu majestad hoy pasar te vi por mi gran ciudad, y en vos descurbí que la imagen sos de una que olvidé, y que, como vos, porteña fue... Sos la flor de Buenos Aires, porteñita primorosa, digna nieta de la bella que paseaba majestuosa, en aquella gran aldea de ventanas coloniales y patrullas federales. Sos la flor de Buenos Aires porteñita idolatrada, copia fiel de aquella estampa que hace tiempo que se fue. Sos la flor de la ciudad tu faz heredó la serenidad de la que pasó. Vos me hacés volver al pasado aquel de mi amor de ayer, sos copia fiel.
English · machine translation
To the sound of your majesty today I saw you pass through my great city and in you I discovered that you are the image of one I forgot, and who, like you, porteña was... You are the flower of Buenos Aires, porteñita primorosa, worthy granddaughter of the beautiful who strolled majestically in that great village of colonial windows and federal patrols. You are the flower of Buenos Aires idolized porteñita, faithful copy of that picture that is long gone. You are the flower of the city your face inherited the serenity of the one that passed away. You make me return to the past of my love of yesterday, you are a faithful copy.
